Considering to have Slate Editor in Wagtail?

[Jianxuan-Li]

Hi all,

Slate Editor saves a JSON object of rich text content, I use it in one of my project to create PDF files.

We can use the JSON styled content for multi-purposes, for example, we create a page, then use it to generate a HTML page, to render a React component, or generate a PDF, and etc... So wagtail becomes a publishing tool.

Because JSON has no render limitation like HTML. I pretty like to use the JSON style for rich text content now, since I can render the content as I want, it's more easier to control than HTML + CSS. The most important thing for me is this extremely easy to use in a React App

The editor:

The saved JSON content:

The generated PDF file:

We don't need to replace current rich text field, just add a new RichTextJsonField. How do you think about this?

Thanks
